UNITY AMONG THE REPUBLICAN LEADERS AND In
THE RANKs-THE PLATFORM PRAISED
TBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
SARATOGA. Sept l5.-The delegates to the Re-
publican State Convention departed for their
homes today profoundly we'll satisfied with their
work. They like their State ticket. their plat
form and their new State Committee. and they
oil say, as Senator Evarts said this morning,
I'VE are going to win." Many say that they
did not come to the convention with much hope
that Its action would lead to the success of
the Republican party at the polls in November.
Five years Of defeat did not make them san
guine. Opposition newspapers had spread stories
Of dissensiOn among the Republican leaders. There
was the troublesome temperance question to face.
some weak candidates for State offices had been
suggested. The barnacles Of the state Committee
seemed inclined to stick. But all the secret
fears Of mistakes in the convention have proved
unfounded. The party leaders, Senators lIiscock
and Evarts, ex-Senators Miller and Platt. ex-
Governor Cornell, Levi p. Morton, W. H. Robert
son, in fact every leader, have worked in harmony
with the solo purpose, which was clearly evident.
OF electing the Republican State ticket and .
Republican Legislature this fall. Candidates
have been put on the State ticket OF excellent
character and fine ability, but so distributed
about the State that the Republicans in every
locality have some one candidate in whose cam
vass they will have personal interest. Thus
Colonel Grant will receive. the New-Yorlk dee
gates say, an unusually large vote in that oity,
where he lives and is we'll known to thousands.
The Republicans of the eastern fringe OF counties
believe that Judge Lamoreaux, the candidate for
Controller, is one Of their aJlest men. In the
southern tier of counties the name of Oliver H. p.

York the name of James II. Carmichael is .
synonym for probity and financial skill. II
should be added that the members of the Grand
Army Of the Republic among the delegates are
delighted that they will have the opportunity of
voting for the son of General Grant, and for
Major Dennison, who enlisted in the Union Army
when fifteen years old and served for four years.
The delegates say that the liquor question was
dealt with effectively. Tie temperance plank
is heartily approved. The debate upon it In the
while at first 1t frightened some OF
the timd delegates, who feared that much
free criticism OF the plank would be used harm
fully by the Democrats. is now believed to have
been wholesome for the Republican party.
Said Congressman Nutting, Of Oswego County,
to-day:

much suppression OF frank talk our conventions.

sentiment in the convention in favor of a strong
utterance on the temperance question. Mr.. Brod-

said that the Republican State Committee was
much strengthened by the supersedure of some
inefficient members by men OF ability. The addi
